Master Visual Inspection Techniques, QAQC Processes & Weld Acceptance Criteria for Oil & Gas, Refinery, and Piping Industry
This course provides complete Level II training in Visual Testing (VT), including eye test requirements, VT tools, QAQC documentation, and welding acceptance criteria based on ASME B31.3 and Section V Article 9. It’s designed for those aiming to become certified QAQC engineers, NDT inspectors, or welding inspectors in Oil & Gas, Refinery, Petrochemical, and Piping industries.
Students will start by understanding visual inspection fundamentals, vision tests like Jaeger and Color Vision, and will move into tools such as weld gauges, pipe alignment tools, and digital measuring devices. This training also explains how to perform fit-up inspections, read weld joint designs, and document inspections in accordance with industry codes.
You will also gain exposure to remote visual inspection (Boroscope), welding processes like GTAW, and key quality control processes. Acceptance criteria for welder qualification and welding quality are covered with detailed reference to ASME codes and tables.
This course is highly practical, with real-time visual demonstrations, standard inspection forms, and instructor-led video lessons recorded for field-based applications.
Whether you're a fresher, diploma holder, working professional, or job seeker preparing for Gulf country roles, this course will enhance your employability and technical understanding.
